We have been regular customers at Ah Soon bak kut teh 亚顺肉骨茶 in Taman Sri Tebrau for more than a decade. We especially love their excellent sesame oil chicken and also liked their popular bak kut teh.
Through all these years, Ah Soon still has a loyal following in a very crowded market of bak kut teh shops in JB, with new shops sprouting up literally every other week.
Ah Soon's bak kut teh come in a piping hot claypot with chunks of blanched looking meat in a light looking steaming, furiously bubbling herbal broth.
Typically Teochew style, the flavours were delicate and relied on the fresh natural sweetness of the pork for taste.
Nothing overpowering in terms of saltiness, sweetness or smell of herbs - just exquisite delicate flavours in a buzzing, crammed, anything goes kopitiam setting.
The preserved, soft green vegetable was only slightly satly and dominant tastes were sweet and tangy. Works well to whet the appetite for the chunks of meat in the claypot.
I like their specially blended syrupy black sauce which was sweet and salty. Drizzle it over the fresh hot cut chili and eat it with the lightly flavoured chunks of tender, chewy meat.
Chewing the complex tastes of sweet, salty, spicy hot gelled with the smoky texture of tender fat and lean pork makes a delightful treat for the taste buds.
We will be back for Ah Soon's bak kut teh for many more years to come :)
